ISLAMABAD: Currently, due to anthropogenic activities, the pace of climate change is high compared to changes in the past. It is essential, therefore, to find ways to mitigate drastic impacts of the ongoing climate change wave through adaptation and prevention without compromising development targets.
Climate change is becoming a challenge for many countries as the frequencies of weather anomalies and climatic extremes have increased during the last two decades.
At the 15th Conference of the Parties (COP) under UNFCCC, the developed countries agreed to pay at least $100 billion every year to the developing countries as a climate adaptation fund till 2020.
Pakistan needs to get access to international financial resources to meet the adaptation and mitigation costs.
Pakistan is ranked number 7 in the list of most vulnerable countries, suffering economic losses of $3.823 billion in the last two decades due to climate change and climate extremes.
At the 2016 United Nations Climate Change Conference, Federal Minister for Climate Change Zahid Hamid said: “We emit less than 1% of total annual global greenhouse gases, yet we are ranked amongst top 10 countries most vulnerable to climate change. Millions of people are affected and colossal damage is caused on a recurring basis.”
According to UNDP’s Climate Public Expenditures and Institutional Review 2015 for next 40 years, Pakistan would require $10.70 billion per annum as the cost of adaptation to climate change and mitigation cost would range from $8 billion to $17 billion.

Pakistan should contact Al Gore. Gore’s net worth is estimated to be around $200 Million. Big Al would certainly be willing to help. All you gotta do is ask.
If they keep shooting each other fast they will not have a problem. They could also redistribute some of the money they spend on nuclear bombs.
Sorry, Pakis.
Obama aint around anymore.
You think Pakistan is stupid? Of course, they are going to feign undying fealty to the climate hoax. Hey, if the rich idiots in the west are going to throw their money away Pakistan ought to be the one laying dibs to it.
Again, as we all know, the whole globull warming thing is a scam to redistribute wealth. Pakistan's money grab lays this out pretty convincingly.
If they have money for real nuclear weapons, they have more than enough money to deal with either “climate change” or attacks from rabid unicorns.
Al Gore can sell one of his mansions...
Maybe if they tested a few ICBM-types, a president Hillary would already have a couple planes fully loaded with >400 million cash ready on the tarmac already.
Pakistan needs access to global funds because they have made their country into a basket case.
Sure.
Reality: crazy-a$$ m*slim country will use the money to kill human beings.
Give them a break. They probably lost those billions of dollars because climate change caused their poppy crops to fail.
The Pakistanis need to take up this matter directly with two of their neighbors, China and India (their progenitor), since they are the world’s two greatest sources of air pollution (not to mention nearly 40% of the planet’s population).
I could use some global funds to cope with climate change, too! How much can I get? (I need at least $5 million...after taxes...)
They should put a tax on all their madrassas.
So what are they gonna do with the money? Build hydroponic fields for poppies?
Maybe they need to contact the Red Chinese. They must have lots of money seeing as how they don’t have to spend it on cleaning their air.
Let the “do gooders” do so at their own expense.
There is nothing to be coped with.
Pakistan would simply fund more terrorists.
(oh...and where can I get a lunch bucket like that?)
If they start a war with India and have 3 million Pakis killed off, the problem will diminish.
A good ol fashioned war will mitigate the climate change
Contact Merkel...she’s all for helping Muzzies
